About me

I am a freshman at Duke Unviersity in the Pratt School of Engineering.

Name Pronunciation

My name is Abby Chainani. The best way I can think of describing how to pronunciate my name is AH bee Chay NAH nee. A good way of remembering how to spell is it to think of "Chain" and then just add "ani".

Favorite Matlab Demonstration

My favorite matlab demonstration was the Loma Prieta Earthquake because this program was used to map data for an actual earthquake. It considers a three-dimensional platform and includes the parameter of time. Morever, the acceleration from various directions is analyzed. However, the most interesting part is how the complex trajectory is mapped out by simply considering three two-dimensional projections (each axis represents the direction).
